The girl who sits next to Harima who you see during the scenes where Harima attempts to tell Tenma to put her name on her test. In the Survival Game she was on the Cafe Faction. Rinko appears as the narrator in the Class Play during the Cultural Festival, cosplaying as Saber from Fate/Stay Night.     This character has not been formally introduced in the series yet. She has been nicknamed &quot;Rinko&quot; by multiple Japanese fans on School Rumble @ 2chan which means &quot;Next Girl&quot;, since she sits next to Harima, but her name has never been mentioned in the anime or manga itself.    Despite not having a name, she has received a speaking role in episode 2 of School Rumble Season 2, where she infamously refers to the relatively unimportant and insignificant character, Ishiyama Hiroaki, as the other guy completing the insult that Hanai Haruki started. Strangely enough, she is officially listed in the cast credits as &quot;Rinko&quot;. It is still unclear whether the producers took this from the fans or if indeed the producers coincidentally intended her to be &quot;Rinko&quot;.    &quot;Rinko&quot; was part of the 3rd Character Popularity Poll as &quot;2-C Girl #1&quot;. She received 95 votes and placed 25th out of 66.

Tsukamoto Tenma is an ordinary 2nd year high school student who has fallen in love with one of her classmates, Karasuma Ooji. However, currently she is unable to confess her feelings to him. To make things worse, she found out that Karasuma is transferring to another school in a year. On the other hand, Tenma's other classmate, Harima Kenji (who is a delinquent) is also in love with Tenma. Not being able to confess his feelings, Harima gets depressed day by day.

Continuing right where season 1 left off: Harima still likes Tenma but still runs into obstacles everytime he tries to confess his love to her. To complicate the situation, Class 2-D challenges class 2-C once again and there's a rumor floating around that Harima and Yakumo are dating as the school prepares for the cultural festival.

Hometown: Honolulu, Hawaii  Also known as Majken Kunishima

Second-year student Tsukamoto Tenma learns that her secret crush, Karasuma Oji, will be transferring to a school in America. In a last-ditch effort to reveal her love to him, she writes a long (but anonymous) love letter. When Karasuma ends up postponing his transfer for another year, Tenma realizes she has to tell him how she feels before time runs out again. But her extreme nervousness around him prompts her to try and setup all sorts of schemes to get close to him and let him know, without actually coming out and saying it. Meanwhile, unknown to Tenma, the school delinquent, Harima Kenji, has the biggest crush on her, as well as the same anxieties about being direct. Around this love triangle of clueless people are a few of Tenma's friends, and her younger (but older looking, more mature, and more popular) sister, Yakumo.
